want to go higher on new fx6200 but keep bsod

own the new and fx 6200 here are the clock speeds. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2287594
the temps at load are around 31c at idle 15c. this is on a coolmaster hyper 212+ p\p. Obviuosly it is nice and cool and the voltage is stock for the chip. I am sure i can get this chip higher within safe ranges. When i raise the multiplier i bsod. When i raise the multiplier and the voltage i bsod. Have tried lowering memory raising memory. Raising the bus speed. Of course I have disabled coolandquiet, turboboast etc... This is my first six core cpu and also my first amd fx cpu. I am kind of at a loss here. Help please? Oh also how do i get put that nice looking on the fx owners list. Looks like i would be the first fx6200 on it. heehee

What do your voltages look like at 100% load? what motherboard are you running? are you overclocking the northbridge, or hypertransport? Does it bsod as soon as your get into windows, or under prime95 testing?

GA 970A UD3 I am just using the unlocked multilier normal is at 20.5 i have it at 22. Ok here we go. With all 6 cores running at 20.5x200=4100 i am getting no errors in prime95 at 1.376v. This is the default voltage. This is also with turboboost disabled and cool and quiet disabled. At 22x200=4400 i am getting errors in core 4 and 6 at 1.408v. I believe that the increase in voltage is vdroop as i still have the voltage set to normal. The computer still runs however and i am able to play my favorite game BF3 no problems. I am thinking i need to jack the voltage up a bit and i will no longer get errors on those 2 cores. I finally got the computer to load windows at 23x200=4600@1.4625v. However when i tried starting prime95 it crashed lol. In the mean time i am going to raise the voltage a bit for 4400 and see if the errors in prime95 go away. Maybe i should also mention that the temps topped out at 41c at load when i tested at 4400. I think that leaves me some room to go higher. I hope this gives u a better idea of my problem.

Ok i set the cpu to 4100. This mb does voltages in .025 increments. Not very tight. anyways i dropped it .025 from 1.3875 which is the normal voltage according to the motherboard to 1.3625 and it caused errors in prime95. Would have bsod if i had not turned prime95 off. I also noticed that the cpu speed was fluxuating the multiplier would drop and raise along with the voltage. I am sure that i disabled cool and quiet, turboboost, and c1e support. So my new question is this normal with prime95? Or did i forget to disable something else. Sigh... Addition to this post. I raised the multiplier up to 21.5x200=4300. On normal voltage while. running prime95, recording my evening tv shows, and typing this right now, I am getting no errors in prime95. Hmmm at 4400 with normal voltage i could run it some errors in prime95 but no bsod and i can still play my games. At 4300 no errors. At 4400 with an .025 increase in voltage i bsod. Could this be a power supply issue? I have and Antec 750w Eartwatts never gave me a problem that i know of. Just something else to think about i guess. O and the memory is on the mb list of approved memory and i did a memtest on it and it was fine. Maybe this cpu has very little oc room because it is an 8120 with 2 cores disabled? lots of questions here.sorry about that. Test Still running fine. Will check back later Thank youEdited by UrbanCamper - 3/8/12 at 5:23pm

seems like ram to me, id check there first... do the usual, re-seat them, clear bios, boot to bios, load defaults, save, reboot to bios and set up your ram timings and voltage manually and try prime95 again.

EDIT: oh, there is another power/turbo feature for the zambezi in the bios you need to disable, "apm" or advanced power management i think its called.
my 6100 went up beyond 1.46 volts on the turbo, they need alot of volts, especially when all cores are clocked up, i could only get my 6100 to 4.2, needed 1.5 + volts, temp was pretty high lol
didnt want to get stable even @ 4ghz 1.48 i think...sigh

so yea at 4.0 + all cores loaded your going to need way more voltage Edited by Tyreal - 3/8/12 at 5:36pm

At 4.328 i am stable@1.376v At least this is what prime95 is saying after about 2 hours. With temps at about 50c. I am no longer fluctuating now that i have disabled apm. get errors So maybe it is a memory thing though when i had my 965be on this board clocked at 3.8 i had no problems with my memory. I would like to figure out how to get it to 4.6 stable but maybe this is not possible. I cant afford to buy other memory. So maybe i will be happy with this at 4.328 it is still pretty fast and i no longer get lag recording my tv shows while i game and also get a few more frames in the games i play which is always nice. Thank you for the help.

in my last post i inadvedently put in 2 words that said "get errors" what i meant to say is that i no longer get errors. At 4328mhz after 12 hour i have not gotten any errors in prime95. I still would like to go higher though. a new post for what i discovered in coolingEdited by UrbanCamper - 3/9/12 at 5:48am
